Signed Thomas Webb & Sons cameo art glass perfume / scent bottle with original silver top. Made in England, 19th century. <br><br>
Measures 5 1/2 inches high. <br>
Bulbous bottom with very long, thin neck ending in a silver collar with matching silver bulbous stopper, attached by a silver chain.
The 3 layers of cased glass have been carved in a beautiful, delicate floral pattern. The colours are shades of white: cream, buttery yellow and iron red. The latter used as highlight and outline. The combination of the light colours looks like carved ivory. Beautiful dog roses and buds, clearly showing a strong Japanese influence in the treatment of delicate branches, blossoms and foliage. A ring of little flowers enclosed in double bands near the top.
Colour of the underlying layer of glass seems to change from light sunshine yellow to a brighter/darker shade as it goes up the bottle.<br>
Raised glass signature THOMAS WEBB & SONS.<br>
Condition is very good. No chips/cracks/damage/restoration of any sort. |
